So you've been asked to organise a conference.
It might be your first time or maybe you’ve done it many times before but the reality is, you want it to be a success without creating too much stress.
Conference planning involves:
- Goal setting
- Venue selection
- Budgeting
- Conference management
- Financial management
- Debriefing
Each step is necessary, whether you’re organising a conference for 40, 400 or 4000 people.
The first step in conference planning is to determine its purpose and to write clear, measurable goals. This enables you to create a comprehensive brief which is essential for communicating with your various service providers.
